I checked the Harlem Globetrotters wikipedia page. Searched for Vinny. Was not disappointed.

Just checked it as well. So awesome, and it's in a spot that has nothing to do with that.

Once again Ryan back-peddling on a game he gave a high score to, once he realises his friends didn't like it. Yet another reason for why I think reviews are bullshit and shouldn't be taken so seriously.

Indianapolis is a shit hole. I know I live a hour away. Its like they forgot to put stuff that people care about there.

I think Superman is pretty cool. He's only boring when dumb people are in control of him and try to give him the wrong conflict.

so you can say jeff found the hide out of dildo baggins?

Unintuitive puzzle design in a LEGO game? Shocking!

As a lover of Phantasy Star IV, easily one of my favorite games of that era and my only true rpg love on the genesis for all the amazing ones out on the snes at the time to counter it(I own PSII, it felt super grindy then and recently when I tried...I couldn't do the first dungeon lol), I've always had a weird relationship with pso. It was a lot of fun and had similar stuff, but it wasn't what I really wanted. At the time it felt like trading in on the name of a game I thought was just fucking awesome, I'm not so harsh on it now. I'd love brad's idea of an oldschool looking sequel, PSV, but it just won't be the same. I'm happy with nostalgia and old memories and hell I own the guide, the genesis cart and the sega collection on 360 with it; it was the main reason I bought that disc.

Man, did they bitch about Lego Batman? Please tell me that they read the comments for that video in which people straight up told them all the mistakes they had.

Oh who am I kidding, they probably didn't.

Yeah, Gamefly is slow as shit now. It takes ages for them to send me anything.

@Grondoth:

Meh, the guys all still think that Superman is exactly the same as he was in the 50s, sneezing away galaxies and being completely invulnerable.

Knife > Bat. Also, one nostril on each nipple :P

Confetti in my ears?! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

@Andtheworld: Or listen to the bombcast where they address that issue before bitching?

yaay bombcast is here

this is legit the best bombcast in months.

Saint's Row: Sally Fourth

@Pop: FEED YO MAG.

Oh god... no Mag concept page. This will not stand.

The interesting thing is the tamagotchi pet idea was really popular in this era of Sega games. Skies of Arcadia also had a evolving alien pet of sorts.

Take the baseball bat!

Perfect.

Pretty much the entirety of the Miller Lite / Spencer's Gifts conversation had me rolling around in my chair unable to breathe from laughter.

Saints Row Goes Forth

Armored Core 5 came out in March...

Face the truth, Ryan!

Wow, that theme song is horrendous even by terrible cartoon standards.

I just puked in my mouth a bit...

Man... Once I saw the preview screen I remembered this.

I never got how you sold a cartoon with a bunch of live action shots.

haha Great point, but you have to give it up for that Bo Jackson clip where he makes the catch and runs up the wall.

Amazing podcast this week. The email portion was especially hilarious.

Took a screenshot of the Wikipedia page, because I knew it would be deleted soon.

That was an hilarious podcast. The better parts where the one where you didn't talk about video games, weirdly enough :'P

Also, knife. The advantage of a bat is being able to take the first shot but after that the guy is either down or in your face, so you'll have to drop the bat and go mano a... knifo ? And I'm not muscular enough to take a guy 1v1, so it's the safest choice.

What are all of you referring to? I see nothing special.

@Krixok: Having thought about it way too much, I'm of the opinion that neither is a better answer. It just comes down to how comfortable you would be with moving during a fight. The guy with the knife has to move and attack and the guy with the bat has to stay somewhat stationary to maximize the swing damage.

Personally I would pick the knife because I'm just not sure I can do enough damage in one swing and once the distance is closed the knife wins.

I'm just gonna leave this here.

Someone edited it out, but here's the version of the article with the reference intact.

Someone needs to make a hair dressup game of Vinny.

This is the greatest podcast of all time. If I could, I'd make the bombcast an honorary harlem globetrotter.

EDIT: Also, I'm glad they stated that they confronted the issue about the LEGO Batman 2 puzzle. I was worried that was gonna leave a permanent bad taste of quick looks in my mouth. Like, of ICO/Shadow of the Colossus proportions bad. Just shoutin' out taste redeemed.

YOU DON'T CARE, YOU'RE DRINKING MILLER

oh god thanks to this I know that all of Law and Order is on Netflix my life is fuuuuuucked

I thought this ep peaked at the spencers dong-guard joke. Then the nose discussion started.

"HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BEHAVE AT COCAINE PARTIES GOING FORWARD?!?"

@Jeff

How were the breast weasels?

Just TAKE MY TIME!!!

Cheers from South Africa

Man, I'm still trying to catch up from E3. :) You guys are an embarrassment of entertainment riches.

DANISH! DANISH building block company... Ryan Davis!

Fuck Sweden and their djungelvrål!

Looking up wikipedia being "proxy-research" is just as true as doing the same with an encyclopedia or a paper.

20 solid minutes was spent discussing the Harlem Globetrotters, Zombie 5k's in Indianapolis, and Law and Order.

Never change Bombcast.

3 hour bombcast, this should be good

Andrew from Michigan, that was the email question of the year!

BTW: The correct answer is an aluminum baseball bat.

A full sized bat will break your back or anything it hits

bombcast time!! yessss

Patrick Klepek hell yeah spider man 2 was a great game!

Lets do thissssssssss! I love beer tech!

Brad didn't know Superman is at odds with Batman?

He's definitely not read comic books then :P
